About the Book

FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF BURIAL RITES Growing up in the village of Kay in Prussia, 1836, Hanne Nussbaum would rather run wild in the forest than conform to the limitations of womanhood. Hanne is friendless and misunderstood ... until she meets Thea. When Hanne and her family are forced to flee religious persecution, they board a crowded, disease-riddled ship bound for the colony of South Australia. In the face of brutal hardship, the beauty of whale song enters Hanne's heart, along with the miracle of her love for Thea. Theirs is a bond that nothing can break. The whale passed. The music faded. Praise for Devotion 'A glorious, heartbreaking love story of infinite beauty' HEATHER ROSE 'A tale of love that sustains and love that ruins' SYDNEY MORNING HERALD 'Kent tells her heroine's burgeoning love story beautifully' THE TIMES 'Searing, lyrical' THE SATURDAY PAPER

Review :
Piercingly beautiful . . . [Hanne and Thea's] story is an elegy, freighted with loss and longing With an extraordinarily daring twist halfway through its narrative Devotion is a remarkable novel, an almost visionary celebration of the death-defying power of the women’s love A modern classic, on par with heart wrenching love stories such as Wuthering Heights and Pride And Prejudice. It tells the story of an achingly beautiful love and a brutal search for freedom . . . A moving tale with a breathtaking twist Devotion is rare and exquisite, both beautiful and muscular in its portrayal of love found and denied. It’s a story of love as a radical act . . . this is masterful storytelling with pull-no-punches stakes. It’s taken root in my heart Kent tells her heroine's burgeoning love story beautifully Such a glorious love story. And the poetry of the landscape had, for me, a Whitmanesque sensibility. A mighty impassioned cry to love and the land Hannah Kent’s latest novel is stunning - full of magic and adventure. I fell in love with language again reading it. So beautiful and so raw. Devotion is impossibly good Absolutely stunning. The writing, the characters and the twist were just perfect. Any Hannah Kent novel is guaranteed to be powerful, moving and so imaginative, but this was something else. It is a story that will stay with me A poetic story of friendship, nature and what it means to step into a new world - both physically and spiritually A superb novel. A fantastic merging of exquisite lyrical writing and page-turning adventure. Devotion had me constantly surprised, always entertained, and ultimately deeply moved: it deserves to be a glittering success Kent combines lyrical writing with a strong sense of place in this novel that takes us from a 19th-century Prussian village to the dusty plains of Australia It is a love story, ardent and wholesome, and it drapes its reader in lush historical detail. Fans will find a lot to savour [A] marvellous queer love story Draped in rich historical detail, Hannah Kent's luminous and poignant story explores kindred spirits and an epic search for freedom Devotion, is nothing short of divine. Kent uses prose like a magician might use a wand. I could say so much about the depth and scope of this novel, its raw, powerful connection to nature and human emotion, and it still wouldn’t do it justice. Simply put, this is a beautiful book. A liturgy of love, full of grace and wonder. One of my favourite reads of the year . . . While there is great sadness and hardship here, this surprising novel is ultimately about beauty, nature and an epic love. I adored it A tale of the refiguring might of faithful hearts; of love that sustains and love that ruins; of exile and dominion Exceptional . . . there are not many novelists writing today who can conjure a European past as vividly as Hannah Kent . . . she is a master at immersing the reader in a particular place and a particular period, specialising in stories of women on the margins trapped in close-knit communities and claustrophobic situations Devotion is utterly original. A glorious heartbreaking love story of infinite beauty
